About WCAG Techniques
Technique G80:Providing a submit button to initiate a change of context
About this Technique
This technique relates to 3.2.2: On Input (Sufficient using a more specific technique).
This technique applies to content that includes forms.
Description
The objective of this technique is to provide a mechanism that allows users to explicitly request changes of context. Since the intended use of a submit button is to generate an HTTP request that submits data entered in a form, this is an appropriate control to use for causing a change of context and is a practice that does not create confusion for users.
Examples
Example 1
Example 1: A submit button is used for each form that causes a change in context.
